TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
SUMMER SESSIONS 1949
Summer sessions at Indiana have long been a regular part
of the educational program of the college. The standard of work
is the same as during the regular year. Certain courses par-
ticularly adapted for summer offering are inviting to the reg-
ular student. The special needs of teachers in service are also
considered in planning the program.
There will be two sessions of six weeks each, the first
beginning on June 6. The second session of the summer starts
July 18 and closes August 26. Either or both sessions may be
attended, making it possible to earn six or twelve credits. All
students will find desirable courses in the fields of elementary
and secondary education as well as in the special fields of art,
business education, home economics, and music education. The
particular groups whose interests have been kept in mind in
preparing the summer program are these :
VETERANS OF WORLD WAR II will find courses of-
fered in every curriculum and every year, thus enabling them
to accelerate the day of graduation.
REGULAR STUDENTS will be able to take courses accel-
erating the time of graduation or to bring themselves up to
the standards required by the college.
TEACHERS IN SERVICE who wish to renew their State
Standard Limited Certificates or other limited certificates
will find courses enabling them to keep certificates valid. See
the last page of the bulletin for regulations regarding renewal.
EXTENSION OF CERTIFICATION to other fields by
former graduates will be possible through the wide variety of
courses offered. This will enable graduates to prepare for
teaching in fields where there is an acute shortage of certified
personnel.
PERMANENT CERTIFICATION may be accomplished
through the acquisition of six semester hours necessary to
make permanent the Provisional College Certificate.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
RELAXATION AND RECREATION PROGRAM
Because of its location Indiana State Teachers College lends
itself to an interesting- program of recreational activities during
the summer sessions. Pleasant not-too-warm days and cool sleep-
able nights make up an atmosphere suitable for continued study
and relaxation. Indiana is an ideal vacation spot.
Much of the recreational program centers at the College
Lodge where picnics and steak frys are held or informal parties
at the culmination of hikes through the woodlands of the Alle-
gheny foothills.
On the campus, facilities are provided for outdoor twilight
games such as bowling on the green, archery, croquet, badmin-
ton, Softball, etc., while indoors are Recreation Hall for formal
and informal dances. Reception Lounge for cards, singing or
just visiting. The Commuters Lounge, Esquire Room for men,
The Den for women, and the Social Rooms provided in John
Sutton Hall are places for meeting friends, visiting, or just
plain loafing.
The environs of Indiana are rich in interest, natural, legen-
dary or historical. Buses will be chartered for visits to many
of these places.
Not all the summer session students participate in all
activities, but the program is ample and varied enough so that
each student can find an outlet for his own particular tastes
and interests.
The program is developed by a student-faculty committee.
Tentative plans for the 1949 sessions include many of the "old
favorites" and new ones suggested by former students include :
1. Morning "pickups" in Reception Hall.
2. Campus picnics for boarding students.
3. Bingo parties and square dances on the Auditorium
patio.
TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
4. Evening informal dances in Recreation Hall.
5. Movies in the College Auditorium.
6. Student dramatic productions prepared by the group
in Theatre Workshop.
7. Campus games — bowling-on-the-green, archery, cro-
quet, badminton, etc.
8. Softball tournaments for men and women.
9. Tennis.
10. Bowling and roller skating parties at local recreation
centers.
11. Golf at the Old Fort Club.
12. Departmental picnics, and women and men's steak fry
at the lodge.
13. Chartered bus trips :
One (each session) to the Civic Light Opera in Pitts-
burgh.
One (each session) to Mountain Playhouse at Jenners-
town.
One (each session) to the Hi-Way Theatre at Ebens-
burg.
One (each session) all-day trip to Cook's Forest.
One Historical tour to Baker's Mansion, Altoona.
Many others — depending on student interests and sug-
gestions to committee.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
Registration. Students are expected to register on the
first day of each session. All questions pertaining to fees,
programs of classes, and room assignments should be settled
so that classes may run full time on Tuesday following regis-
tration. Those wishing credits evaluated - should see the Dean
of Instruction.
Registration for First Session — Monday, June 6
Registration for Second Session — Monday, July 18.
The dormitories will not be open for students until regis-
tration day, June 6. All baggage and trunks will be received
in the basement of John Sutton Hall from where porters will
deliver them directly to student rooms. Baggage should be
plainly marked with names and room numbers if assignments
have been made. Students living in cottages should mark their
baggage with the street addresses so that the college truck can
make speedy deliveries.
On arriving students should :
1. See the Registrar in Recreation Hall and pay fees.
2. See the Dean of Women or Dean of Men and get room
assignments.
3. Get programs made out in Recreation Hall or in the
office of the director of special departments.
4. Secure books at the Book Store as soon as texts are
specifically designated for courses taken.
Class Hours. In general all class work will be completed
before noon. Classes begin at 7:45 and close at 12:20, each
period being 90 minutes, including the time for changing
classes. Some laboratory periods, field trips, practice periods
for musical organizations, and similar activities are conducted
in the afternoon. Each student should make certain that he can
adjust his time to these periods as arranged before making his
program.
There will be no Saturday classes.
The time followed will be that of the Indiana Community
(probably Daylight).
TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
Student Living Conditions. Indiana is characteristically
a boarding institution in the sense that it provides living accom-
modations for its students. Those who live in Indiana and
vicinity are enrolled as day students. The excellent roads leading
to Indiana enable many more students to live at home than
was formerly the case. All students who are not living at home
are required to live at the college. Students whose homes are
not in Indiana and who desire to live with relatives in Indiana
as day students must have the approval of the President in ad-
vance of registration. Under no circumstances are women
students permitted to room or board with private families who
are not relatives.
Slight illnesses are cared for in the college infirmary with-
out charge for a period of three days. After three days, a charge
of one dollar per day is made. This charge includes the regular
nurse and medical services, but does not include special nurse
or special medical service.
Students and teachers are responsible for meals of their
guests at current transient rates. Only young women of college
age may stay in campus buildings overnight; they must be
registered with the Dean of Women by the person or persons
entertaining them.
All students who live in the college must provide them-
selves with blankets, as the college furnishes only the linen and
counterpanes. Each student must also provide window cur-
tains, table napkins, soap, towels, and needful toilet articles.
Clothing. To properly enjoy activities of a sports nature,
women students will find slacks and comfortable shoes for hik-
ing and First Aid Classes, swimming suits, and shorts for ten-
nis very useful.
Summer activities usually include a garden party for which
a summer evening dress is suitable. For all other occasions,
cool, comfortable dresses and spectator sports clothes will fill
all needs.
Placement Service. The services of the Placement Bureau
are available to all students of the college who receive certifica-
tion. The directors of the various departments take active
interest in the placement of their graduates. Coordination of
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS
effort is secured through a central committee. The Bureau
supplies credentials to employers who are seeking applicants
for positions and serves as a center where graduates may keep
their records up-to-date. Alumni are using the Bureau increas-
ingly. Teaching positions are not guaranteed by the college,
but Indiana's record of placement is among the very best in
Pennsylvania.
COURSES FOR THE SUMMER SESSION
The six curricula are not published in this bulletin. They
are printed in full with brief descriptions of each course in the
1949-1950 catalog, available upon request. Any course will be
taught in the summer if there is sufficient demand. It is very
important, therefore, that students fill out and return the en-
closed card in order to make known their desires in advance.
Courses listed on the center pages of this bulletin seem
certain to be offered, as will others for which there are enough
advance requests. Except in special subjects or majors in the
secondary field, ten students are necessary to justify a class.
The college will be under no obligation to give any course in
which fewer than ten are enrolled on opening day.
SPECIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEPARTMENTS
The titles of the courses to be given appear in the lists
on pages 12 and 13. A brief discussion of some of the more
unusual features in each department is given below. Re-ar-
rangement of courses or other necessary readjustments will be
made in the effort to meet the needs of individuals. Descrip-
tions of regular courses may be found in the general catalog.
Only new or unusual courses are specifically mentioned here.
ART DEPARTMENT
The courses offered during the first summer session will
emphasize Design, Pottery, Costume Design and Interior De-
sign. The afternoon schedule will be operated under the STUDIO
OF CERAMICS and include Modeling, Pottery, and Art Practi-
cum. Students not in the Art curriculum will find Appreciation
of Art or Principles of Design II also offered in the first session.
10 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
THE STUDIO OF DRAWING and THE STUDIO OF
PAINTING will feature the second summer session. Thus stu-
dents in the Art Department will find a balanced program for
the summer. The second summer session will find Art in the
Integrated Program scheduled for those students not in the Art
Department,
High school graduates may profitably begin their college
careers during the summer sessions at Indiana. Teachers in
service may work for additional certification or toward comple-
tion of their undergraduate degrees. Those interested in art
and crafts as a hobby will find the opportunity for enjoyment
in the Art Department's Summer Studios.
BUSINESS EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Several distinct needs are provided for in the summer
offerings in the Department of Business Education as follows:
1. Courses in the main commercial and business subjects
for teachers in service who wish refresher work,
2. Courses designed to provide advanced certification for
teachers in service.
3. Provision for the completion of work required for per-
manent certification.
In this connection, the course in "Meeting Community
Needs" has been especially organized. One other course
outside the Department of Business Education may be
taken in addition to this course.
4. Advanced courses required for the completion of the
degree.
5. Sequential courses for Veterans who are completing
accelerated programs.
6. Review courses for those students in regular attend-
ance, who wish to strengthen their standings before
fall.
7. See pages 12 and 13 for complete list of courses.

14 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
Guidance
This course presents the need for and the nature of guid-
ance needed by adolescent youth together with the concepts,
kinds and methods of guidance. Emphasis is placed upon the
functional aspects of guidance in educational and vocational
fields.
Mental Hygiene
This course endeavors to develop a background for the study
of human conduct and an understanding of the foundations of
human behavior, together with an application of the emergent
principles to the life of the everyday person. It is designed
especially for students in all curricula. Prerequisites : General
Psychology and Educational Psychology.
Public School Administration
This course is designed to acquaint the teacher with the ad-
ministration and organization of the American public school.
Among the topics to be discussed will be : pupil classification and
promotion; supervision of instruction; extra-curricular activi-
ties ; classroom management and discipline ; grading systems ;
the daily schedule ; a philosophy of education, etc.
Recent Developments in Education
This course will take up the study of recent trends of edu-
cation in the various fields of interest, with particular reference
to methods and research.
The Teaching of Arithmetic
This course covers the work in grades four to eight. It is a
study of grade placement of arithmetic topics, modern methods
of teaching arithmetic, principles to be applied in meeting the
needs of individual pupils, testing programs, text books, and
desirable materials, and social and business uses of arithmetic.
Desirable prerequisite : Curriculum in Arithmetic.
ENGLISH AND SPEECH DEPARTMENT
English. Three of the four English core courses — American
Literature, English Literature, and English II — will be offered
both sessions. English I will be given only in the first session.
Instruction in Library Science will be part of the work in English
I and 11.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 15
There will be two electives in literature, World Literature in
the first session, Modern Drama in the second. World Literature
may be taken by students in the elementary curriculum in partial
fulfillment of the requirements for permanent certification.
During the first session four writing courses will be avail-
able in Composition Seminar — Advanced Composition, Short
Story, Essay, and Playwriting.
Speech. In the first session, the Drama Workshop will
again be featured. Designed to give practical as well as theo-
retical training in acting, producing, directing, costuming and
stagecraft, it makes possible credits in four Speech electives —
Play Production, Creative Dramatics, Costuming and Make-up,
and Stagecraft and Scenic Design.
Realistic problems are met and valuable experience gained
through the presentation, before paying audiences, of two full-
length plays. Short plays are regularly produced for laboratory
purposes.
The work of the Drama Workshop has been of special inter-
est to teachers in the field who, often without training in modern
theatre practice, have the job of coaching school plays. Credits
for any student will be limited to six hours.
Fundamentals of Speech, a required course in all curricula
except Home Economics, will be offered only during the second
session.
FOREIGN LANGUAGES
During the first session of 1949 summer school the Depart-
ment of Foreign Languages will offer one course each in ad-
vanced French and Spanish. These courses, similar in content
and purpose, will be Recent French Theater and Recent Hispanic
Theater. They will be open to students who have had one year
or more of college language, or the equivalent.
The Department feels that these courses will best serve
groups of varying levels of advancement. All students will read
a basic group of plays to develop vocabulary, reading and oral
skills, and to gain insights into contemporary customs and man-
ners. More advanced students will do further individual read-
ing and prepare reports on it in accordance with their abilities.
16 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT
Geography occupies the outstanding place in the develop-
ment of world-mindedness and an understanding of the peoples
of the world. The vital task of the geography teacher is to
develop world-mindedness and instill understandings of peoples
the world over, so we may eliminate the misunderstandings that
have all too often led to war.
Positions for trained geographers are more numerous today
than they have ever been. Our country needs geographers to
help in public services as well as in teaching. Indiana graduates
are presently functioning as geographers in many government
departments. Opportunities for geographers in government
work are still numerous and other opportunities in civilian fields,
notably in meteorology, climatology and water and air trans-
portation are developing with increasing frequency.
Geography courses in the summer sessions will be sufficiently
numerous and varied to provide preparation for diverse geo-
graphic work.
Field Course. Plans are being made to again offer a Recon-
naissance Field Geography Course this summer. Possibilities
include a field trip in North America or abroad. If you are
interested please indicate your preference to L. C. Davis, Head
of Geography Department, Indiana.
HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION
The State Council of Education on January 9, 1948 estab-
lished regulations for certification of teachers of Education for
Safe Living. Indiana will offer the two courses necessary for
such certification — General Safety Education (3 credits) and
Driver Education (3 credits).
Driver Education. This course is one of the most successful
and needed courses in our secondary schools today. Educators
point with pride to the results obtained in driver education. The
development of proper attitudes, knowledges, habits and skills
in a driver is a dire need that can be adequately met by the
installation of a practical driver training course. The cost for
a course of this kind approximates that of any laboratory course
in the high school.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 17
Engineers have done a great job of designing and perfecting
the automobile. They have built into it every known factor for
its safe use. Road engineers have constructed beautiful high-
ways and have constantly eliminated road hazards. Enforce-
ment agencies have increasingly improved their services in pa-
trolling the highways and enforcing the rules of the road. Edu-
cation of the driver has been one of the most neglected parts of
the program of safety on our highways. Statistics show that
the operator of the car is the chief cause of the majority of
our mishaps on the highway.
The driver education and training program consists of 36
hours of classroom instruction, plus from 28 to 32 hours in a
dual-control training car, three-fourths of which time shall be
spent observing either the instructor or another pupil, and one-
fourth shall be spent in actual driving.
The following phases of highway safety are included in the
course: pedestrian safety, school patrol, school bus patrols and
bicycle safety.
Our youthful drivers have the worst record for accidents
on our highways. The problem for this particular group is a
serious one, but it has been solved in many high schools by insti-
'tuting a driver education program.
DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS
Home Economics prepares people for living, for home-
making, and for marriage as well as preparing home economics
majors to teach in any high school in Pennsylvania. Any of
the courses except Clothing III may be taken by students in other
curricula without prerequisites. All students will find work
in this department helpful not only in living but in teaching.
Consumer Educaticn is needed by all people, men and
women. This course meets the Economics II requirements for
Business Education majors. It is of special importance to
Elementary majors because the only mathematics most people
use in life is in relation to consumer buying. Life satisfactions
are gained by intelligent selection of goods and services.
Clothing III (for home economics majors or those who
have had previous training or a great deal of experience in
clothing construction) . Technical skills in garment construction
18 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
are developed. A coat or suit is constructed with emphasis on
ready-to-wear versus hand-tailored coats and suits. Fabrics
cost approximately $35.00. Prerequisites: Clothing I or II or
the consent of the instructor.
Education For Family Living is open to all students ex-
cept home economics majors. Each student may choose units
in any area of homemaking : selection of food for health ; pre-
paration of appetizing meals ; selection and purchase of a desir-
able wardrobe; good grooming and the care of clothing; child
care and development from conception to kindergarten ; consumer
buying; housing; management of time, energy, abilities, other
resources and money to meet his or her needs and interests as
teacher and present or future homemaker. Just the thing for
an elective.
Family Health is frequently needed by teachers and home-
makers. Evidences and characteristics of health and of all com-
mon diseases are studied. Prevention of disease is emphasized
and how to care for each disease is investigated. A Red Cross
certificate is given and the prescribed Red Cross apron is
required.
Family Relationships (for all college students). Solutions
are sought for problems of the modern American family such as
family stability, preparation and responsibilities for successful
marriage, the unmarried, married women working, etc. The
family's influence on personality development, attitudes, planes
and standards of living is studied. Readings, discussion, special
speakers and conferences are used in facing and solving these
problems.
LABORATORY SCHOOL
Student Teaching. Student teaching in the summer session,
is restricted to those who have had previous student teaching
in this school or who have had at least five years of actual teach-
ing experience. To be eligible for student teaching at Indiana,
a student must be a candidate for a degree and have had at least
one semester of resident work during which he has passed 16 or
more semester hours with at least a "C" average and no failures.
The only exception to the experience requirement is in the case
of a student who has previously done a full semester of student
ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUMMER SESSIONS 19
teaching- on the campus and who wishes to secure the additional
teaching credit for his degree or for certification in another
field. Student teaching is scheduled for the first session only,
beginning June 6. Applications must be filed by May 14 to
assure enough opportunities for all who desire to do their stu-
dent teaching this summer.
MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT
The courses in mathematics for the first six-weeks of the
summer session were chosen primarily to enable students to
complete a major in mathematics in three years and three sum-
mer sessions. Courses from the regular sequence are offered.
Differential Calculus includes the study of function, limits,
methods of differentiation, maxima and minima and applications
of the derivative to physical problems. Prerequisite: Analytic
Geometry.
Synthetic Geometry co-ordinates and extends the skills in
geometry, presents some problems of modern geometry and de-
velops constructions of an advanced order.
General Mathematics is planned to meet the needs of stu-
dents whose background in mathematics is insufficient for the
best work in other areas of learning and includes a review of
arithmetic processes and a study of the development of our num-
ber system, graphs and equations, positive and negative numbers,
uses of mathematical tables, approximate numbers and the nature
of logical thinking.
MUSIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Music Materials for the Elementary Grade School Teacher.
A critical study will be made of various present-day basic music
reader series. The newer trends and materials will be compared
to the pedagogy and materials of past years : a comparison of
methods of teaching music as outlined in the various old and
new texts for schools ; comparison of texts as to quality, quantity,
and gradation of song material ; comparisons of presentations
of technical arrangements of music; and a study of the basic
ways of using these texts. In addition a study will be made of
the demands called for by present-day curricula. Considerable
20 TEACHERS COLLEGE BULLETIN
attention will be given to the correlational aspects of music
through the development of units of instruction (individual and
committee assignments). First session.
Orchestration (and large ensemble problems). A study
of the essential characteristics of each instrument of the sym-
phony and symphonic band with particular emphasis upon the
limitations of each instrument. Learning how to write and
arrange music for each instrument; for small and large ensembles
and transcriptions from piano, organ, and ensemble; and tran-
scripitions from piano, organ and vocal scores. In addition,
some attention will be given to the essential problems relative
to the organization and development of the large high school
choral and instrumental organizations. First session.
Private Instruction (workshop). This course will provide
for various needs of students toward the completion of credits
in any of the woodwind and brass instruments, also 'cello and
string bass. The class work will be augmented by private les-
sons. The fee for practice use of piano, orchestra or band instru-
ments for one period a day is $2.00 per six-weeks session. Second
session.
Instrumental Methods and Materials. Survey of the music
texts in the teaching of instrumental music are made; develop-
ment of a course of study in instrumental music ; tests and meas-
urements in this field; the administration of an instrumental

Appreciation of Music. This course provides a general
orientation in music from present to past and is required as an
essential one semester general education course for students of
all curricula except Business Education. It is designed, there-
fore, to enrich the students' cultural experience and understand-
ing. The course begins with present-day popular and folk music
and goes back to early American music and the major European
Musical Heritage. Through recordings and other means every
possible direct contact is made with music. Special emphasis
is given to the human values and correlation with literature, social
sciences and the arts. Second session.

SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
An exceptionally fine program of courses in Biology, Physics,
and Chemistry will be offered this summer. Every effort has
been made to arrange courses for the following groups of sum-
mer students :
1. Those students who are accelerating.

ticular area of science.
3. Those students who are completing the require-
ments for a degree.

Students specializing in Biological science should note the
emphasis on field work in the summer school. Such courses can-
not be given during the regular semesters.
In the Physical Science field, prospective majors should note
that four courses which serve as electives in Chemistry will be
given this summer. These are distributed over the two six-weeks
summer sessions. Attention is also called to the opportunity
to secure Physics II and Historical Geology.
SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT
The Social Studies Department will offer a well-balanced
program of courses this summer in History and Social Science.
These courses will be given for four groups: (1) those
working for a degree, (2) those desiring permanent certification,

ing for certification in Social Studies.
Three courses will be offered in both sessions. They are
United States History to 1865 (including Pennsylvania). United
States History Since 1865, and American Government. The first
course mentioned will meet the State requirement for certifica-
tion. Other courses offered will include History of Civilization,

student is assured a congenial roommate. Single applica-

lege prefers that students make their own choices whenever
possible. The college does not guarantee a suitable room ex-
cept in cases where the reservation deposit has been paid in
advance and accepted. Applications for rooms are filed in the
order in which they are received. Students are requested to
v/rite to the Dean of Women if there is any preference in

REGULATIONS REGARDING TRANSFER OF CREDITS
AND RENEWAL OF CERTIFICATES
The following regulations governing admission with ad-
vanced standing were approved by the Board of Presidents
of the State Teachers Colleges, July 19, 1940:
1. Transfers from other institutions will not be accepted
without certificates of honorable dismissal.
2. Credit will be given for acceptable courses pursued
in accredited collegiate institutions in which the student has
made a grade above the lowest passing grade in the institution
in which the work was done. Where the grades are marked
on a percentage basis, work graded five per cent above the
minimum passing grade will be accepted.
3. All students who are candidates for a degree shall
be required to arrange a program of studies approved by the
Dean of Instruction. Any student desiring to pursue any part
of this program at a different institution will be required to
secure, in advance, the approval of such courses from the Dean
of Instruction.
RENEWAL OF STATE STANDARD LIMITED CERTIFICATE
(From Department of Public Instruction Bulletin, September 1, 1938)
1. The 12 semester hours reciuired for the renewal of the State Standard
Limited certificate are to be earned during' each renewal period of three years
whether the certificate has been used foi- teaching purposes or not. This
is the minimum rate by which the iTolder of a State Standard Limited certifi-
cate may move toward the completion of an elementary degree curriculum.
2. The responsible official of the cfillege from which the holder of the
certificate expects to secure a degree should certify on the transcript — or
otherwise — that the 12 semester hours submitted to the Department of Public
Instruction will be accepted by the institution as additional work toward the
completion of the elementary degree curriculum.
Note particularly that work for the renewal of the certificate must be
approved toward a degree in the elementary field. This renewal work should
be taken in the school from which the student e.xpects to secure his degree.
If taken at another college, approval of the courses must be secured in
advance from the Dean of Instruction of the college from which the student
expects to secure his degree. This permission will not be granted for courses
toward the first and second renewals except for very important reasons.
